From Reusable Rubber Food Wraps to Real Fruit Boxes

By: Laura McQuarrie - May 21, 2014

Considering that the edibles inside of fresh food packages are best consumed while still fresh, their wrappers, containers or boxes usually have pretty short life spans as well. However, these kinds of packages are helpful for identifying what's inside, as well as make it easier to transport the fresh food items home.

Since these packages are bound to quickly end up in the garbage or better yet, the recycling, these deigns either aim to use more eco-conscious materials or give the protective covering another function of some kind to prolong its life. A few great examples of this include plantable fresh produce labels embedded with seeds that will help your garden flourish, or herb packaging that doubles as a safe way to carry a plant home and a plant pot for when you get there.
